Chapter 424
At this time, many seafood eats have not been discovered, and even some good things are discarded as garbage, so the market in the capital is dominated by extremely luxurious seafood such as shark fin and abalone. With so much experience in eating seafood in the post-world world, Erya certainly has a lot more seafood dishes than people here.
When the guests invited by the Kong family heard that they were eating a seafood dinner today, they all thought that they would eat shark fin and abalone. Everyone is still secretly worried about what kind of family business does the Wang family have, and can hold such a banquet? When the first dish on the table turned out to be a very ordinary seafood variety, no one was disappointed.
But the host has already said that today is all seafood, so you can only eat it with chopsticks. Good food is not afraid to taste, and as soon as they eat it, they immediately realize that they are wrong. It's not just shark fin and abalone that are delicious, these very common varieties can also be swallowed by the tongue.
Because there are many varieties, the amount of each dish is very small, so each dish is very difficult for the guests to eat.
And Grandma Qin, Mrs. Kong, and Mrs. Kong Liu were smiling when they saw it. The ladies and wives didn't know that they were happy because of the popularity of the seafood, and that they were a little happy because their daughter had married a good family.
Mrs. Li belongs to the kind of person who can't hold back her words, she used chopsticks to hold a chili pepper and fried clams, sucked a small diced meat into her mouth with her mouth, chewed it, chewed it, swallowed it, and when she wanted to stretch out the chopsticks again, she found that the plate was empty. said a little unhappily: "Such a stingy in-law is also worthy of her being so proud?" Such a small thing is not enough for us to eat three rounds, but it is really enough. ”
It wasn't Madame Jiang who sat next to her to eat this time. This is the daughter of Kong Liuye's colleague's family, and she also has no grade. This wife, like Mrs. Kong Liu, is not a member of the family at home, and she also has no status. Originally, Mrs. Kong Liu's daughter was twenty years old and had no way to get married. She's sympathetic, too. It's just that she doesn't know why she is a little jealous in her heart at this time, she listened to Mrs. Li's complaints, and did not shy away from speaking, but whispered: "Her daughter's family affairs are a little strange, don't you have any hidden diseases with the man?" If it's a good person, how can they ask to marry her daughter?! ”
Mrs. Li is just the kind who has a bad mouth and can't speak, but she doesn't have a bad heart. Hearing this lady raise such a question, she immediately defended the Wang family: "You can't guess this!" The son-in-law of the Kong family is the champion of the golden branch, and he can be literary and martial! What the daughter of the Kong family values when she marries her is that she is old and sensible. If you get married, you can take care of the family. To say! It is also Ah Jing, a child who is blessed, and he can be the master of his own house when he enters the door. A rich family is so good! As long as you are not a fool, anyone can live comfortably for the rest of their lives. ”
After listening to Mrs. Li's words, this lady remembered the words of the Confucian girl just now. But it's all good words! He shut up and said no more. lest it reach the ears of Mrs. Kong Liu, and she will offend people.
Not to mention the cold jellyfish and cold sea stone flowers at the banquet, even the most unsightly kelp was used by Erya at the banquet, and the big guys were still full of interest in eating and full of praise.
In front of the two concubines of the Kong family and a married girl, they couldn't close their mouths happily, as if the silver was flying in front of them. The protagonist who can't come out of the backyard to meet the guests is also happy, and he can't fly up and dance to express his excitement.
She was not happy for today's seafood feast, but her long-standing anxiety was finally settled. When the post reached the boudoir, she was in her hands. She just kept laughing. The eight characters fit so well that she is full of confidence in her future married life. I also believe that the Wang family will sincerely accept her as a member of the family because of the matching of this eight characters so beautifully. Although she has been hit to the point of disappointment and hopelessness, there is still hope for a better life in the future.
After the dowry, Erya, who was busy with the seafood feast, was still busy helping them find a house and build a shed with great interest, but she didn't know that a catastrophe had swirled and floated away from her family's head.
In the palace, Feng Batian asked the secret agent kneeling in front of him: "How is the matter investigated?" ”
The spy replied with a little excitement: "Back to the master!" It has been investigated, and his subordinates have found clues to the case of the robbery of the official bank five years ago! ”
The emperor asked how the matter was investigated, it was the murder of Erya on impulse, and she thought that everything would be fine if the world went down to deal with it clearly. In fact, the people who went down to deal with the matter had just left, and they had not yet returned to the capital, and several people in the capital who held real power over there had already received the information that the Hepu royal family had killed many good people in such and such a place today. The emperor did not report this matter to anyone, but the secret agents he specially placed around several key officials to report it to him. He immediately arranged for spies to investigate the incident of the Wang family's slashing and killing of good people. No one thought that this investigation would implicate the big case that had not been closed for several years.
Five years ago, a batch of official silver was about to land from the east coast and send it to the capital, but unfortunately, the ship was only a dozen nautical miles away from the wharf, but it was suddenly touched by a group of thieves, killed none of the people on board, and finally set fire to the ship. At that time, there was a sailor, who was urinating on the sea, and when he saw a dozen small boats approaching, he lay down on the board of the boat and knocked on the board to call the alarm. But it didn't help to call the police, those people were so violent that they got on the boat and started killing. Only those who were killed could no longer find anyone alive, so they removed a dozen wooden boxes containing silver and set fire to the ship. When the sailor who called the police found that those people could not be stopped, he resolutely went down into the water along the gang of the ship, and lurked in the groove at the bottom of the ship that was specially used to store the anchor. It wasn't until the pirates set fire to the ship and left that he sneaked to the docks and hid.
The case had always been a cold one, and the sailor who had escaped for his life had given a clue to the tattoo of a flower on the back shoulder blade of one of those men, and nothing else could be provided. At that time, the spies also received the task of comparing tattoos, and those with tattoos were too different, and there was no result in the past few years. This time, I didn't want to hit them crookedly, so that they would run into them.
The spy didn't look up at the emperor, and didn't hear the emperor's intention to interrupt, so he continued to report: "The subordinates went to the dart bureau to find the two people who handled this matter to understand the situation!" The team leader said that he was negotiating with the other party when he suddenly felt a very strong murderous aura coming from those people. He took a serious look at the men. He said that he had just taken a look at it and found that there were several killers who had absolutely stained many lives. At that time, his mind was hot, and he rushed towards those people, and when he rushed to kill, he found that the knives of those people were aimed at his own people, and they were all the kind that killed them with one sword. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and said without raising his head: "Go on!" ”
"Yes! When his subordinates heard him say this, they went to check whether the condition of the dead body was as he had said. If it's true, I'm afraid there may be some conspiracy involved. I found three of the dead bodies with tattoos on their back shoulder blades, which were the closest to the ones offered by the sailor."
"Only three?"
"Back to the master! There are only three of them, indeed. Therefore, the subordinates guessed that what the people who went down that day should be true, but I am afraid that there are some internal contradictions among those people, and it is usually difficult to start, just by blocking the road to rob and kill people, and by the way, they can also blame others. In addition, when his subordinates were preparing to secretly check the household registration of these people in the county office, they found that the county order had received an order from the capital, asking him to encourage those people to go to the capital to sue the Wang family and innocently kill the good people. The subordinates were afraid that it would be more difficult for those people to get help from the capital, so they hurried back without waiting to find out the origin of those people. Ask the master for advice on what to do next! ”
Feng Batian didn't feel angry at all, if he was angry with those people, he would have to die early. A small belly and chicken intestines, they know that the communiqué is a personal vendetta, which is really embarrassing for them.
"No matter what method you use, you must successfully encourage all the people of that organization to come to the capital, even the dead bodies. As soon as they arrived in the capital, they arranged for people to follow them, and if they traveled alone, they should arrange two or three people to follow them to see where they went and talked to whom. It's going to be fast! ”
"Yes!"
The reason why Feng Batian attaches so much importance to this matter is because others don't know what the flower-like tattoo is, but he knows it. It is the cherry blossom, the national flower of Toei.
This time, because those people heard the warning from above overnight, saying that the world was going to interrogate them, they were afraid, so they thought of taking the opportunity to kill some people who knew their details and would not suspect them. Their plan was very good, but they didn't expect that the object of their action turned out to be ruthless, so that their own people also folded three. Before they could bury their accomplices, the emperor's spies had already discovered their identities.
It's just that they haven't had anything happen to this place for many years, so they let their guard down. didn't know that his identity had been exposed, and he followed the bewitchment of the magistrate and entered the capital to complain, in a vain attempt to scrape off the Wang family's background. In the end, they didn't even touch the edge of the Wang family, and they all went into the emperor's urn.
Erya is lucky this time, one is crooked, and the other is that the emperor is always staring at her family, and it is also beneficial to have an inexplicable trust in them, otherwise all her previous caution would be useless.
After a seafood banquet, the Wang family's thanksgiving banquet became popular again, and of course it can also set off a seafood fever in the capital. And Qin Da Shao's grandmother and her mother finally took out the courage to dare to invest in seafood, and when they found a suitable restaurant for resale, they asked Erya to borrow silver. They still obeyed Erya's words, and would rather borrow money than do business with other relatives, so as not to cut off the friendship between relatives in the future.
When the two of them were still renovating, Mrs. Kong Liu's side had already begun to officially open. Of course, Erya has contributed a lot of efforts in this, from setting up tents to selecting seafood to dishes (stir-frying, boiling soup, hot pot, and making all kinds of meatballs).
Because the fee is really low, sometimes a dozen people eat a very hearty seafood hot pot, only a few hundred dollars, less than one or two silver. Everyone who lives in the community can afford to eat, so in just a few days, the business is up and running, and it is very popular.
Originally, the fishing village would not officially go out to sea until May, but because these times they asked for seafood that can be caught on the shallow beach, they can also break the routine and go to the sea in advance to catch seaweed, shrimp, clams, oysters, and other seafood that are not valued by nobles.
